NewMarket is the First Texas Company to Rank in the Top 5 since 2001 Based on 31,633 Percent Revenue Growth

Dallas, TX, October 19, 2006 – NewMarket Technology Inc. (OTCBB:NMKT) today announced that it ranked Number 5 on Deloitte’s 2006 Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in North America. Rankings are based on percentage revenue growth over five years, from 2001–2005.

NewMarket Technology grew 31,633 percent from less than $1 million in revenue in 2001 to over $50 million in revenue in 2005, making NewMarket the fastest growing company in Texas on the Fast 500 ranking and the first Texas-based company to make the Top 5 since 2001. This is NewMarket’s third consecutive year on the Fast 500 list. NewMarket ranked Number 13 in 2005 and Number 312 in 2004.

In addition to ranking Number 5 on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500, NewMarket Technology ranked Number 1 on the Texas Technology Fast 50, which is a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology firms in Texas.

“Deloitte’s Texas Technology Fast 500 companies have shown the strength, vision and tenacity to succeed in today’s very competitive technology environment. The fastest growing Texas-based company, NewMarket Technology, is also the third fastest growing United States-based company,” said Tony Kern, deputy managing principal of Deloitte’s Technology, Media & Telecommunications industry practice. “We applaud the successes of NewMarket Technology and acknowledge it as one of 46 companies in Texas to accomplish such a fast growth rate over the past five years.”

NewMarket’s CEO, Philip Verges, credits shareholder support and employee commitment with the Company’s 31,633% revenue growth over the past five years. Philip Verges said, “This is a significant accomplishment for NewMarket Technology to make the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 for three consecutive years and to become the first top five Texas company on the list in five years. It is an honor to represent the great state of Texas, as no other Fast 50 region had more companies make the Fast 500 this year with Texas companies even out performing the Silicon Valley and New England. Not only is NewMarket the fastest growing Texas-based company, but the third fastest growing in the United States, with nearly 30% more total revenue in 2005 than any of the other companies ranked in the top five.”

“The Company’s five-year growth has been exceptional from less than $1 million in revenue in 2001 to over $50 million in revenue in 2005,” Verges continued. “We continue to maintain a rapid growth rate with $70 million in revenue forecasted this year and $120 million forecasted in 2007. This achievement further fuels our excitement, passion and vision to continue executing our business model by bringing new technology innovations from concept to production.”

Overall, companies that ranked on the 2006 Technology Fast 500 had growth rates ranging from 209 to 48,948 percent over five years, with an average growth rate of 2,145 percent. Forty-six Texas-based technology companies are included in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 with 9 of these companies making the top 100.
